Hikari Dojo is an Authorized Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu Study Group under Roy Goldberg Sensei. Weekly classes are led by Charlie Siegel. Classes are inclusive of all abilities and new students are welcome to attend at any time. Contact us to reserve your spot!
Weekly in-person classes are held inside Wisdom of the Ages in Simsbury, CT, within their class space which is fully matted and converted to Hikari Dojo, a separate training space utilized for these classes. Members of our organization can also tune in on Skype to watch the class.
We welcome both current students of the martial arts from any style or practice as well as new-comers to the martial arts, interested in walking a path of better health, well-being, balance, fitness and safety. Charlie is dedicated to the practice of making each class fun and informative, training traditional waza (techniques) of the art and walking a path of inner growth.
Classes are open to anyone 14 years of age and older.
Classes are $15 each or you can receive a discount by paying a monthly rate of $55.
Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is a 1,200-year-old samurai martial art and National Treasure of Japan. Its core principles focus on subtle manipulations of balance that can complement and enrich any martial arts training. Daito Ryu is not just a set of techniques, but a mindset that can transform budo practice.
Once secret and passed generation to generation through the Takeda clan, the system of Daito Ryu Aiki Jujutsu was revived in the late 19th century by Sokaku Takeda, 32nd in line of the Takeda family. Takeda taught throughout Japan using a seminar system to spread the art. In the early 20th century he taught thousands of Japan’s highest ranked martial artists from Judo, Kenjutsu, Jujutsu and Karate.
It has directly influenced the development of many popular martial arts, such as Shorinji Kempo, Hakko Ryu Jujutsu, Hapkido and most famously Aikido, whose founder Morihei Ueshiba trained extensively in Daito Ryu.
Trial period classes (1 month) can be attended in any comfortable workout style clothing. Students who wish to train with us on a regular basis can become members of the organization under Roy Goldberg Sensei and would then attend classes in a traditional white gi and belt, which can be purchased through Charlie and which include a patch for the Daito Ryu organization.
Please visit www.DaitoRyuAikijujutsu.net for further information on the art, the training and Roy Goldberg Sensei.
We also host seminars with Roy Goldberg Sensei and/or his senior-most student Manny Jimenez Sensei throughout each year, open to members of the organization as well as the general public. Contact us to reserve your spot at any of these events.
We hope to train with you soon in this beautiful art. Please message us with any questions.
~ Hikari means "Light" in Japanese. Hikari Dojo is a place for inspiration and illumination, to find and develop one's center and to train in the traditional Japanese art of Daito Ryu.
**** All participants must wear a mask in accordance with CT state safety regulations, as well as hand sanitize upon entering and leaving the mat. Please be sure to wear a mask that fits well so that it will stay on during ukemi (falls and rolls). Mats are sanitized thoroughly between each training session.****
